Stuart Abbott is the latest in an impressive line of midfield talent coming out of the Western Cape area.
The 23-year-old is known for his aggressive running and solid defending and has subsequently represented the South African under-23 side on may occasions.
Abbott, who also represented the Griffons and Leicester Tigers, faces a tough battle to sneak in ahead of De Wet Barry, Robbie Fleck, Braam van Straaten, Marius Joubert and Werner Greeff in the Stormers starting XV.
